[Kernel] v1.x[XWLS8-LSD-LSE-LSJ-LSN & XXLSJ|MS1] JellyBean i9100 [Light & Simple]
Rooted
Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (Stock from: http://www.androidpit.com/android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-for-galaxy-s2-download-it-here)
I have had on and off hardware issues with my phone even when all was stock, things like apps failing, phone freezing and getting hot when something got stock.
Now after a reboot my phone just keeps booting and never enters the Android OS. To add, I don't know why I got to the scene where "Android is optimizing your apps" this always happened after I changed kernel. But now it is stuck there, the circle is rotating and after some minutes the phone gets hot. I waited over 20 minutes, but it's stuck there.
I can enter CWM mode, and I did a cache and Dalvin cache clean, although it didn't help.
I also have the yellow triangle upon starting the phone...
What is the best solution to try to fix the issue? I rather not wipe the phone, before I try other things. Maybe set a new kernel there or ROM?
Restore nandroid backup in CWRecovery. Or a factory reset if you have no backup, and if the reset doesn't work, flash a stock rom with Odin & start again (re-root your phone, etc).

Just flash a latest .tar (Odin Flashable) kernel file like 'Philz' or 'Siyah v6b5' from Pc odin and then do a wipe data/factory in recovery afterwards and see

If I do a factory reset, I would need to install all apps all over again (300+ )
I will first try to flash the rom.

yes, if u flash 'Philz' kernel then u can make a Nandroid bkp of the Data partition in its recovery before making a factory wipe and then u can restore the same later, so that all ur 300+ apps will be intact
How do I access the storage of my phone? So that I can copy over a kernel file.
Wow there, this is not windows.

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .

i did that.

Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

Hi,
This is my first post so i apologise if its in the wrong place. I have been running ICS 4.0.3 for quite some time and decided it was time to try a different ROM. I installed AOKP 4.1.1, gapps_jb_signed with Siyah kernel S2.4.1.5 ( i think). After a few days it kept hanging etc and switching off as i would expect a build in development to do. Anyway i flashed a new kernal to change the look (dark demonoid or something like that) and then rebooted. My phone was now properly bricked like i'd never seen before and would'nt even go into recovery mode. After a day or two of trying everything I could to get it to at least boot i flashed Siyah kernel knowing that it had a dual boot option. Low and behold it worked but only in the 2nd ROM mode where i was able to restore my old ICS 4.0.3 from Nandroid backup. The problem I have now is that when i try to do a factory restore/data wipe from within CWM it gets stuck at the data wipe point and eventually shuts down.
I have tried mounting and unmounting emmc,eft,system, data etc and wiping clean everything but to no avail.
When i try to restore the nandroid backup onto the 1st ROM partition it hangs when installing data and I have also tried reformating the data from within the dual boot options of siyah kernel. Nothing seems to work. Have i fried the chip or something? or am i just missing a procedure. My phone works but only if i keep it on siyah kernel and boot into the 2nd ROM option where i have ICS installed..
Any help would be appreciated.

hi mate.can you please mention which roms you were using in dual boot?well yo be honest dual boot ain't a good idea.if you would ha e asked me.i would have recommented you not to do dual boot itch.anyways,coming to the issue.how did you try to flash rom while you got brick?which kernel you had?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You were trying to change the look by flashing a kernel? I'm sorry, but that doesn't make sense. Also you really need to know which ROMs and kernel version you're on. There are ROMs compatible with siyah 4.1.5 and ROMs which are not.
Mention all (correct) details of your roms used and the kernel you're on. Maybe there's a solution there and someone will be able to point out if you've been doing something wrong. Dual boot is perfectly safe. I've been using siyah+ dual boot ever since the day I first rooted my phone and never had a problem.

Hi,
Sorry if i'm using the wrong terminology. If you hadn't guessed im pretty new to rooting etc and thought that changing the kernel also changed the theme/appearance. Anyway im currently running the following:See attachment.This only boots up on the 2nd ROM option. I cannot boot anything on the default 1st ROM and cannot even do a factory data wipe reset of the 1st ROM as CWM just hangs.

My advice to you would be this:
1. Boot into recovery.
2. FORMAT cache, system, data and internal storage.
3. Boot into Download mode.
4. Flash an "all in one" OFFICIAL 4.0.3 firmware package using Odin. Place this in the PDA section and do not touch anything else.
5. Once it's finished flashing your device should restart and you should be good to go. With a clean, stock firmware.
Let me know if you have trouble

Hi, Thanks for your help. I tried the above but when formating data it just hung and then eventually rebooted. I flashed the stock ROM anyway and now it just hangs at the Galaxy SII start screen, i even tried flashing it twice but that didn't help. I have also tried doing a factory data wipe from within the stock recovery after the flash but this still hangs and never completes. Is there a way of formating the data on the phone from within windows using a terminal emulator or something like that?. I have ROM Toolbox Pro on the device which has a terminal emulator as well if thats any good. For now i'll have to restore my nandroid backup I made this morning. mick

Hi, Sorry for the delay in answering i have been away for a couple of days. I flashed a stock rom with odin and it flashed OK and I got a green pass but when my android reboots it gets stuck half way through the install and then crashes and then never gets past the galaxy logo boot screen. I think the kernel must install OK though as after flashing the stock ROM i lost my dual boot option and the phone was bricked again. The only way i can get it working again is to enter stock recovery and install CWM zip, then install superroot & busy box and then flash siyah. This then gives me the dual boot option in CWM recovery where I can restore from nandroid and reboot into the 2nd rom. The problem only happens when i am trying to install a rom in ROM 1 slot (default) on siyah. Whatever ROM it is it never gets past the data part of the install.
First, I want to say sorry because this question has been asked many times. Though I have done searches on the Internet and came across some solutions, I still don't understand how to solve it.
Anyway, here's the story: my brother just bought a galaxy S2 (I9100) and decided to root it via ODIN. However, he mistakenly flashed his phone with a firmware for I9100G. He then tried to flash again with a custom kernel for I9100, but the phone always freezes at the startup screen (with that yellow triangle). So that's 2 custom kernel at the same time.Then I tried to flash the phone with a stock kernel. This time, there is no yellow triangle at the startup screen, but the phone still freezes there. I can still access to the Recovery and Download mode, but have no idea what to do next. Please help me. Thank you
If you can access Recovery, try to wipe data/cache and Dalvik cache. And try flashing a custom kernel after that with the compatible zip file through recovery. I recommend Siyah.
But don't do this with 4.0.4 stock recovery, cause then you will be bricked.
Cheers.

Wait, if I recall correctly, then the phone's version is 4.0.4 before the rooting attempt. So what you mean is that I shouldn't wipe cache with the version 4.0.4 or I shouldn't flash kernel with that version ? Because if it is the latter problem, I can go around and flash through download mode. Anyway, thanks for the advice

You've managed to flash the right official firmware with Odin? Just make sure you don't perform any wipe with stock kernel (in stock recovery) from 4.0.4, all other kernels will be safe.

Yes, I managed to flash the official kernel with ODIN after flashing the 2 custom kernels mentioned.
So, now if I want to wipe, I'll have to re-flash my S2 with a custom kernel right ? assume that works and everything is wiped, will the S2 be able to work again ? Or do I have to do something else ?
Did ur bro make a backup before flashing ?
I had a stuck on logo prob and the only way I could fix it was by loading my backup. wipes or flashing other kernels would not fix for me.
I have read others with similar or boot loop issues caused by kernel and fixed the same way.
if u don't have a backup I don't know, maybe research soft brick fixes. good luck.

Just flash official firmware through Odin. No need to restore back ups or flashing other kernels.
Afterwards root it again and flash a custom rom.

[Solved]
I am unable to flash any roms through cwm, and can only do it through odin. Flashing through cwm results in the phone not loading past the boot logo.
I formatted sd card in cwm, thinking it would only restore to factory settings, not knowing it would completely wipe everything.
From then i was unable to even see the boot logo or recovery mode, but luckily download mode still worked.
So i flashed the stock rom through odin, but it still plays up. Now the battery doesn't last more than 1 day, and constantly freezes.
Now whenever i install anything in cwm, as soon as i reboot, it goes to the bootscreen and freezes. I have tried at least 5 different roms and the same story each time, So each time i have to reflash stock rom with odin.
So any ideas to why this is? any help is appreciated. I have tried ultimate kernel wipe cleaner , or whatever it is called as well.
[Solved]
I just reflashed stock ICS in odin, and ticked the 're-partition' box. the repartition file is called " u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit ". Now it works good as new and I'm currently running PACman rom on 4.3. gg guys.
Just to check, but you have factory reset after flashing the new ROM from CWM right?
Try these steps :
1. Flash ROMNuke script by hawkerpaul. (it's a ROM nuke, not just a kernel nuke)
2. Flash ROM in CWM.
3. Boot.
I know it sounds simple, but that's got me out of a few odd bootloop /failed flash situations. Give it a go.
Then, if that doesn't work, re-download the ROM which you're attempting to flash & try again.
One more thing, what kernel are you trying to flash the ROM from in CWM? Try a different one, say siyah. I've sometimes seen where a particular kernel won't flash but another will for no apparent reason.

it was stock ics cwm i think?, also another thing when I install a new rom, when it shows the progress bar, it goes up to 3 quarters then it skips the rest and says update completed (I just tried Romnuke and same story). I have also tried siyah kernel and it just freezes at the siyah kernel instead. Im currently stuck on stock ICS 4.0.2
Not sure what you mean by 'stock ICS CWM'?
And just to make sure, you definitely have an i9100 right? Not a variant, i9100g etc? Just asking as 4.0.2 was never released for i9100, only 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (stay away from that one)
So now, re-download the ROM which you're attempting to flash, and try again after the ROMNuke script. Does the script run successfully? Or does it have errors /messages which indicate it didn't run successfully?

my bad it is 4.0.3, it is definitely only gt-i9100, and in recover mode it says CWM-based Recover v5.0.2.7

All good. And also good that you have an i9100.
Ok, so have you tried the things I said?
1. Try flashing from a different kernel (your choice, try one other than Siyah)
2. Re-download the ROM & reflash with Nuke script then ROM.
[Solved]
5 months later I found the answer when messing with odin. What you do is tick the 're-partition' box, and then in the 'pit' sections you need the partition file i guess, for the i9100 its called u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit . hope this helps anyone else who may have this problem
Hey,
I have since become a S3 ... I have rooted it and wanted to play another Rome.
First I flashed my Carbon ... that was wonderful, but I had no wifi. Then I tried another Rom (with aroma installer). When I had WiFi, but since I have the menu did not like it and it was me too many Samsung Apps.
Now I have flashed me the Resurrection Remix, but the S3 boots constantly new to the CWM.
The same I have with CM11.
What am I doing wrong please?

You need to install exactly like below don't miss any steps
-Installation-
1.- Wipe data / factory reset (mandatory if you coming from STOCK OR 4.2.X version or another ROM)
2.- Install the Main ROM
3- install gapps
4.- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced
5.- Wipe Dalvik Cache
6.- Fix Permissions
7.- Wipe Cache Partition
8.- Reboot
If it still not working flash TWRP recovery and use that to flash the rom
Hey,
I just did it. Then came the Samsung logo, phone restarts and I'm back in the CWM.
Have just flashed TWRP reboot (via CWM) Recovery and but still have CWM.
Grrrrrr ...... what for now
Better download official firmware from Sammobile and install thru Odin. Then Root and carry on with your favorite custom rom.
Yes I agree with KSKHH if problem still there return to stock with odin and start again..

Hey,
I have now taken me this firmware:
I9300XXUGML2_I9300DTMGML2_I9300BOUGMK3_HOME.tar
Odin started, specified in the PDA tar file, made my S3 in the download mode, USB cable ran ... it was detected and was also flashed. Now I sit for at least 10 minutes and nothing happens.
The Samsung logo always changes its color and the LED on the top left light blue.
